Mom and dad are full time discord mod.

literally 1984.

George Orwell did warn us; mass surveillance, politicial ideals, anyone who thinks different than you is bad, propaganda, freedom of speech. If we're not careful, a scenario like this can happen IRL. Heck, we see how the media handles topics whether its politics, gun control, Roe V Wade, any everything in between.

Though while I never read 1984, I DID read Orwell's Animal Farm in my (IIRC) junior year of highschool and read about its messages.

Holy crap, junior year of HIGH SCHOOL!? Animal Farm was, I think, 4th grade for me. XD

Different times, man.

No talking in discord movie night xD

Sus discord mods though.

honestly i couldn't figure out how to use it even if i wanted to.

Like Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, OG Berserk and Pokemon old, or like DBZ, Fist of the North Star old?

Cause I took you as at least 3-5 years older than a lot of us, for instance I'm 23. Didn't think you're THAT old lol. XD

old enough to have back pains.

So an old-timer. That's nice!
Not even I run into veteran anime fans who's watched anime since I was in diapers eating Cherrios. It's definitely rare I run into an old-timer like yourself.
I assumed you were on the veteran anime fan side of things, the type who's been around when Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Evangelion, and other 90s early 2000s anime blew up.

Im 33
And Spring-summer are soo boring 😴
Wher IS thé goated Aot

take care bro

Discords pretty easy to use though

Yea, but at the start might be complicated, since there are a ton of bots.

I got one, since 2017.

I don't mind. Veldora#0849
What's yours? If you don't mind, that is.

That's exactly what someone who was going to do something sus would say! lol :P

I got one.

More of a Facebook user tho, but I use Discord.

I've got one

This world is becoming more and more Orwellian with every episode.
What next? Compulsory 2 minutes of hate for every citizen?

People having a different opinion and/or mindset of others, and then they're suddenly on "vacation" when in reality the police came and removed EVERY trace of your existance?

I hope not, but one thing's for sure, you can't deny this is an interesting show and brings about commentary.

Peaks the curiosity at most

Definitely intriguing.

Government trying to cover stuff up

Pfff like always…

Happy birthday to Natsu Ichijou from World's End Harem, Masamune Izumi (AKA the brother) from Eromanga Sensei, Nayuta Kani from Imouto sae Ireba Ii, and last but not least, the surprise himself, Hideri from Blend S!

Time for a Sunday dosage of Metaverse lifestyles!

Here's hoping our world doesn't end up like this in 50 years...

Hope for the same thing.
This is giving me "Ready Player One" vibes

Same... the world over here isn't what I want.

at least that world is more fun than ours

you mean in 5 years.
it's very simple: release a computer virus that destroy ever computer from the routers/network in every country
make the computers self destruct with overclocking and heating.
then sell VR goggles to the internet addicted masses
make it into a public education alternative for kids
or release another virus that will prompt governents mandatory lockdowns but with gulag time if you don't stay home, sell cheap VR goggles to citizens to talk on the internet
Then after pandemic over, sell the better ones and tell people to live at home, working at home with VR goggles while construction and stuff will be made by robots or mandated workers/illegals immigrants trained to do so
right there, you have enslaved humanity in VR

I meant 50 in the sense for such tech we see in the show to exist, let alone become a concept.

"Za-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam"

Tera! Peta! Exa! Zetta!

this show give me strong Rockman.exe feelings

the parents job is our future and it would be depressing as fuck

We're deleting things the government doesn't want you to see. It's a very important job! >:|

Nice episode.
I was sure the character with the long black hair was a woman ...

I kinda like the animation, it looks real/realistic! Looked very vivid.

Haha that sound effect when Berry left through the exit though, reminded me of that funny Looney Tunes sound effect lol

Ohh wow ED is actually very good! I like it!

Total Orwellian vibes portrayed in an augmented reality world.

The comment I was looking for.

really nice

Looking forward to this and Made in Abyss

This episode made me realize it's hard to tell the Hyperverse from reality. The way "reality" looks almost feels indistinguishable from the Hyperverse. I imagine that's probably intentional since everyone has to have a Deco on at all times. Also interesting that Berry's parents are both content moderators because their job is essentially censorship. I wonder how much of this world they're aware of. Do they know the "truth" or are they just drones doing what they're told by their bosses?

I'm also curious to know how does Phantom 0 has powers outside of the game? And who is that mysterious dude that showed up at the end there? I guess I'll have to wait until next week to find out.

such a good representation of modern-day society

really digging the animation style. brings back memories of watching Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

Citizens are REQUIRED to wear Deco?

Right. Well. I'm moving to Canada! :P

what a great show. thats a shitload of developments in only two episodes i wonder how they are going to keep up with the pacing

That was actually a really good episode! Beautifully animated and engaging with beautiful animation and fun world-building.
